Britain's first Eurochamp was likely winner from the outset; she'd already had a UK Number One in 1964, and (having also recorded her hit singles in French, Italian, German and Spanish) was equally popular on the continent. But she isn't proud of her Eurovision-winning song. "I hated it from the very first oompah to the final bang on the big bass drum," she once said. "I was instinctively repelled by its sexist drivel and cuckoo-clock tune." Still, it didn't hamper her pop career, with further hits well into the Eighties (prompting fan-mail from The Smiths' Morrissey and Johnny Marr).

Since the Nineties, however, Shaw has worked as a psychotherapist; she finally announced her complete retirement from music in 2013.
